about

this song was always supposed to be a ***slow jam*** but the first version was pretty much recorded 30 minutes after I showed it to the other people who recorded it, so it ended up as a mid-tempo bop on "How to Date a Severed Head"

we re-recorded this song to really give it the love it deserves.

alternate title- "What We Talk About When We Talk About the Mouthfeel"

lyrics

I love you like dogs love anti-freeze
I love you like doctors love heart disease,
I love you like UN drones love the middle east,
I love you like kids love guns on TV

I love you like a mother loves the Man-Killed-By-A-Car
once his organs go to science so her daughter gets a brand new heart,

Let's drink Gin until we start to get loud,
then I'll grab a pair of pliers and rip that aching fucking right out

I love you like the Boogieman loves your screams,
I love you like nightlights love bad dreams,
we talk about love but we don't know what we means
when we talk about love, we don't talk about anything.
when we talk about love, we talk about everything.
